Ah 2016... you have been rough to say the least. From personally, to politically, to world wise, and entertainment / notable people passing, it was as they say "the worst of times". But removed from its "2016ness",
there was a solid amount of great media this year, let's focus , here, on that. As always, if it isnt
listed and is considered to be amazing, i havent likely experienced it at all or enough to make a valid
judgement. Things stay cool eternally..
Top 10 Films of 2016:
1.) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: For proving that just maybe Disney's plans for a yearly film will work if they are this
good...in its classic OT feel even more than TFA, its intense stakes, its new characters and edgy attitude, and action...wow!
2.) Captain America: Civil War: For truly bringing together the entire existing MCU to date into a intense dramatic
conflict, and yet also for introducing some new heroes and spideys, for being marvel at its most epic yet.
3.) Deadpool: For delivering on a dream, and being as perfect and funny and crude and zany as it should be.
4.) La La Land: For its beautiful music, directorial visuals/art, and story. Craft!
5.) Hacksaw Ridge: For its great performances, and intense bloody WW2 action, and message.
